Illawara template, Major oncoming update Options

[dgionet]

Hi to all,

Following thew release of Australia's Illawara template, Brian Beere-Streeter, the creator of the Illawara route, has written me indicating some recommendations in order to bring a more realistic profile of the area. He has considerable knowledge of the rail operations in Illawara territory. He had given me some very precious and precise details to bring the template to a high level of realism I don't believe I have done in previous templates and in respect to our Australian users who enjoys train simming in the most realistic way possible among their routes.

This update is a major one. There will be major changes in rolling stock, arrangement of consists, and even the choice of paths to bring new ones that were in real life in the early 60's. Also there will be a reduction of the serviceable sidings since some marked sidings were not used for pickup and setouts of goods.

Work has already started and Brian has provided some details already and is expected to continue providing some details to help with the update.

Will update later
